Need the 411 on the latest lingo? Like,
it’s not valley girl anymore, duh. And using TMAs (too many acronyms)
is so 90s. Fast forward to 2K4 and you’ve got hipsters and bridezillas surrounding
you speaking about blogs and PoMo. No, you aren’t on some strange
planet. You are right here on earth and these are humans around you.
What they talkin’ about, Willis?

It’s not really slang, but buzzwords sprout up in social circles
as shortcuts to understanding specific ideas. For example, every cool
girl in the 80s knew something was really bad if she heard someone scream “gag
me with a spoon.” Today’s buzzwords cover fashion, technology,
health, and social gatherings in much the same way, albeit with very
different words.

check the expiration date on your lingo so your buzz isn’t dated!
